At the age of 12, Celena Esquer developed a passion for cooking. As a young girl, she enjoyed baking cookies, cakes, and many meals in her parents’ kitchen. Celena carried this passion into her adulthood. When she turned 40, Celena started experiencing some health issues and began to research what she could do to better her health. During this search, she came across multiple articles detailing the benefits of cannabis and how it helps improve your health in many ways. Pursuing her curiosity with regard to cannabis, Celena decided she wanted to help herself and others with the talent she has possessed since childhood.

Recipe development is an art that takes time and patience to perfect each meal to its fullest potential which Celena has made a standard. Self-taught in the kitchen and in the decarboxylation process, she began infusing butters, oils, and rubs. Over the years she has been able to create her own edible line using her homemade recipes and has also developed seasonings for her meals. After many years of research, Celena’s efforts are beginning to pay off in the form of her own company. As the proud CEO of her own cannabis catering company, Blaz’n Chef, Celena is sharing one of her easy and healthy recipes to kickstart your 2018.
